- Hannah takes a look at the air fryer - a device that is rapidly taking over people’s kitchens, cooking up everything from bread rolls to baked Alaska and almost making ovens obsolete. Hannah dives into its surprising history, going behind the scenes with air fryer originators Philips. She discovers how the accidental creation of a wonder wire in the 1900s, a WWII pilot’s cold dinner and one man tinkering in his garage created this modern marvel that is redefining cooking.
